auto_storiesThe Story Behind This Project

This East York bungalow needed a complete basement overhaul. The owner wanted a walkout entrance and legal ceiling height. We lowered the floor through full underpinning, cut a new doorway through the foundation wall, and installed dimpled membrane on all walls for moisture protection. The entire basement went from unusable crawlspace to a bright, dry living area.
